Answer:

False

Explanation:

They both have 1 solution

15x + 4 = 3(6x +5)

15x +4 = 18x + 15 Multiple everything in the parentheses by 3.

4 = 3x + 15 Subtract 15 x from both sides

-11 = 3x Subtract 15 from both sides

-11/3 = x Divide both sides by 3

There is only one solution for this equation.

2x -8 = 8x + 36

-8 = 6x + 36 Subtract 2x from both sides

--44 = 6x Subtract 36 from both sides

-44/6 = x Divide both sides by 6.

There is only one solution for this equation.
